shorter than advertised. ron claiborne is drawing up litigation as we speak. we were able to get an official response. wait till you hear how they are playing this one. >> food on set to test this out. but first new details are emerging about how the deadly stand off in algeria ended. a raid by special forces with dozens dead including militants and hostages at least one of whom we know is an american. brian ross has been working his sources and what do we know? >> reporter: good morning. of the ten americans at the bp facility, seven got out but at least one died and the fate of two others is of growing concern this morning in the wake of the bloody attempts by the algerian army to rescue them from their al qaeda captors. the algerian army's final assault came after four days. in which the hostages were held under the threat of death by the terrorists. the army recaptured the bp-run facility but not before the terrorists apparently executed the remaining seven hostages.

over the course of the siege, 23 hostages died. >> for our people in algeria, for their family and friends, has been and continues to be a distressing and horrific time. >> reporter: two americans remain unaccounted for and a third has been identified as killed. 58-year-old fred buttaccio of suburban houston. the attackers focused only on americans and westerners including a large british contingent. >> tragically we know three british nationals have been killed and a further three are believed to be dead and also a further british resident is also believe to the be dead. >> reporter: the good news most of the 100 western workers were freed or escaped. algerian tv aired what it said was home video taken by one hostage as a group of them made their escape across the desert often past bodies. the algerian military said it killed at least 32 of the terrorists. their bodies displayed on

algerian tv. officials said the terrorists were heavily armed with automatic weapons and explosive pack suicide belts and were preparing to blow up the natural gas facility. even though the u.s. has asked the algerians to go slow president obama in a statement said the blame for this tragedy rests with the terrorists who carried it out. the president said the attack is a reminder of the threat posed by al qaeda in africa which clearly bianna and dan becomes a new and dangerous front in the battle against a terror group who found a new place to kill innocent americans. >> a lot waking up to this. brian, thank you for your reporting. now that the fatal area of this is done, they're telling us about bombs strapped around necks thrown to hospitals across europe one in southern italy where abc's nick schifrin is this morning. nick, good morning. >> reporter: survivors suffered through four days of sheer terror and some are just beginning to recuperate at this nato base.

seeing plenty of visitors. >> we love president obama. whoo! >> reporter: i got to tell you there were a lot of phobes out last night already having a good time. they've got a couple more nights to go here in washington waugh. the official ceremony is actually starting in just another hour or so and the vice president will take his oath at the naval observatory where he lives rather just as sotomayor excuse me, will deliver that to the vice president. >> just to make clear you only heard reports of people partying. this is not something you witnessed firsthand. >> i had to get up really early, so, no, i wasn't walking the streets with friends in town to see the inauguration, no, not at all. >> viciously detailed. david kerley, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> beautiful day there in washington. >> it's usually one day of pomp and celebration before they fight again. to george stephanopoulos in washington, d.c. to host "this week" and anchor our live abc news coverage of the inauguration. george, good morning to you.

>> hey, guys. >> the president has a huge agenda for his second term. one of the big things on the agenda is, of course, gun control. across america on saturday we saw these pro-gun rallies. just really one sign of the amount of resistance this president will face in many parts of his agenda. the question is how much is he likely able to get done in the second term with lame duck status looming? and you have to do it fast only 18 34079ss to get something done in the second term. remember, before newtown in december, gun control wasn't even at the center of the president's agenda for the second term. now he promised with the full weight of his office behind those measures but uphill fight in congress, dan. you have a lot of democratic senators already resisting the president's plans, almost certain that the assault weapon ban that the president is calling for will not pass the congress. what they're hoping for, though, is that they can get some consensus coalesced around at least this idea that there

should be universal background checks but even that will be difficult and as i said at the top speed matters here much the president's power starts to slip away with every month that goes by in a second term and there's so much to do. >> george, there's so much to do. he still faces an unresolved fiscal situation and looks like republicans may be extending the debt ceiling by a few months but still has major budget cuts to deal with this spring. do you see his relationship with republicans improving at all as they try to fix this crisis? >> it is going to be a real confrontation, the republicans did blink. that's exactly right, bianna and said they don't want this over the debt limit that was supposed to hit in february and extend it, as he said, probably until april. the president will sign that which gives them a space to try to come up again with some kind of big budget deal before those across the board budget cuts hit in march and the government is set to shut down at the end of march. there is no question that these big fiscal issues, taxes and spending will define the first quarter of the president's second term. >> george, talk about this term,

the second term curse. we -- reagan had iran-contra, nixon had watergate. clinton had monica lewinsky. why is it that they tend to go sour. >> lyndon jonls had to resign before he ran because of vietnam. ever since roosevelt and the amendment that limited his terms, presidents tend to run out of steam and maybe even get tripped up by scandal in these second terms. i think it's kind of a natural reaction to the fact that power is moving on beyond these presidents because, in fact, they are lame ducks. the obama white house has studied this very, very closely. they know the perils of the second term. they think they can avoid the worst pitfalls, first of all, they are saying there's no scandals on the horizon but believe they can avoid the worst by having a focused agenda and moving fast. >> we'll see if they can. george, thank you very much. george will have a special inauguration edition of "this week" this morning.

white house sneen yore adviser david plouffe and eva longoria. >> we'll be live tomorrow beginning at 7:00 a.m. with george and josh elliott co-anchoring a special edition of "good morning america" from washington. but we'll turn now to some very dramatic video and we want to warn you some viewers may find this hard to watch. a failed assassination attempt that played out on stage in front of a large audience. a prominent political leader was speaking when he suddenly had a gun pointed at his face. what happened next may be pure luck. abc's alex marquardt has the story. >> reporter: the would-be assassin bounded across the stage raising his gun to shoot. he couldn't fire and was instantly thrown to the ground. kicks and punches raining down. others stood over the gas pistol. a self-defense weapon that can be deadly. it's still unclear why the 25-year-old bulgarian turkish man attacked ahmed dugan,

longtime leader that represents bulgaria's turks and muslims. we're working on finding out everything about the attacker says the intear your minister. samples were taken to see if there were drums in his system. mystery how he got in. on top of the gun he had two knives, as well as a criminal background, the rest for drugs possession and robbery. he was anewsing his retirement when he was attacked. this morning the police say he's fine but many questions remain. for "good morning america," i'm alex marquardt in new york. >> unbelievable video, that politician is very lucky. >> he is, indeed. time to check in with ron claiborne. >> that's a pretty wild story there. good morning to you, bianna and dan. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news overnight on a scare involving boeing's new 787. they believe two different incidents with the battery had different causes further complicating the investigation.

mark greenblatt has details. >> reporter: investigators announced overnight they now do not believe that the battery that caught fire on a parked 787 was overcharged. something that is thought to have happened on another plane. look at what's left of one of those batteriebatteries. on the left it's completely charged. a problem that forced passengers on one plane to fly down emergency chutes after last week's event smelling smoke in midair and recently there was a fire on a plane in boston. but now that battery and other battery fires appear to have different causes. it could economy kairt boeing's attempts to return the dreamliner to the air as investigators widen their search for a root cause. now, the 787s were grounded before any accidents occurred but the recent fires had led some aviation experts to call for changes at the faa, questioning if the way the agency currently approves planes is keeping up with fast-moving technology, ron. >> okay, mark, thanks very much for that report on the continuing woes of the 787

dreamliner. five were injured in three separate accidental shootings at gun shows on saturday. people were forced to run for cover after two bystanders were hurt at a show in north carolina when a shotgun discharged as its owner took the gun out of the case. the other incidents were in ohio and indiana. none of the injuries is life-threatening though. new details this morning about that u.s. navy ship that ran aground on a coral reef in the philippines. the navy says the "uss guardian minesweeper" was using a faulty map that had the reef in the wrong spot. all 79 officers and crew have now left the ship after two days trying to free it. and one of the greatest players in baseball history has died. hall of famer stan musial three mvps and his team won three world series in 22 years he stepts son the cardinals he died. stan the man searchinged in world war ii and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom by

president obama a couple of years ago. musial is remembered as a true gentleman. was 92 years of age. finally, talk about taking the plunge. a kayaker survived this -- check it out -- scary 100-foot drop. can you see him toss his paddle shortly going over the edge and plunging into the water. ozone falls has been called the holy grail of the southeast by kayakers and had never been before attempted. by comparison niagara falls is 167 feet. we had a special announcement. our own intrepid ginger zee will go over the falls live on this show next week. good luck, ginger. >> thanks, ron. >> backup waiting. >> he did that on purpose? >> he did it on purpose. bold. >> all right. thank you, ron. now to the kindergarten student branded a terrorist. she was expelled for threatening to shoot another kid. the weapon this hello kitty bubble gun.

get joe benitez is here with the story. welcome to weekends. you brought a prop. >> one like this one. you know, dan, the school took it so seriously administrators ordered she receive a psychological evaluation all for talking about a bubble gun like this one. this morning the family plans to sue the school to get this all off the child's permanent record. was this the weapon of choice for a new kind of terrorist? terror by bubbles. the small pink hello kitty toy gun is an automatic bubble blower but just days ago when a 5-year-old girl said she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles, the school calls it a terrorist threat. >> i think people know how harmless a bubble is. it doesn't hurt. >> it's just bubbles. it can't harm anybody. >> it's only a bubble gun. for a 5-year-old. >> reporter: administrators at mt. carmel area in pennsylvania took action suspending the girl for ten days.

later reducing that to two. the family's lawyer says a psychological evaluation calls the girl normal but now her record isn't. >> the mother has tried to get the girl in another school since this time and they won't take the little girl because of this mark on her record. >> reporter: the attorney says the girl did not have the hello kitty bubbles gun with her so was this all a big misunderstanding. after all, it's a new world where parents and school administrators are on heightened alert after the mass shooting in newtown, connecticut. >> she's not aware of what k is, what death is, what shooting is. >> reporter: the school district superintendent told abc news, "we are confident that much of the information supplied to the media may not be consistent with the facts." he went on to say "the district takes the well-being and safety of students and staff very seriously." and if you haven't seen how one of these works, that's what it

does, it just blows bubbles much the family's attorney says all mom wants is an apology from the school and wants the incident off the school's record, off the girl's school record. you know what, really we don't know exactly what she said but we got to remember she's only 5 years old. >> good point. gio, thank you, gio benitez, our correspondent, thank you. could come to a boil during the biggest nfl game. >> if the 49ers and ravens win they go to the super bowl. coached by brothers, jim and john harbaugh. just 15 months apart. abc's john schriffen is on the story. oh -- >> pretty fierce. they don't face off today but could be at the super bowl. all right, so harbaugh's parents are faced with a really tough decision today. do they go to atlanta to watch jim coach the 49ers or new england to watch their other son john coach the ravens? well, not wanting to pick sides mom and dad will reportedly watch at home with no distractions rooting for both to

than a decade, for landing the head coaching job with the 49ers in 2011. >> i accept this competitive challenge willingly. >> reporter: now older, they both share coaching strategies. but today they're in very unique situations. according to the latest odds out of las vegas, the are actually favored to win by four points or more over the falcons, good news for jim. as for john, well, he's a 7 1/2-point underdog to the new england patriots. a tough task to pull off. well, if they both do win today and make it to the super bowl it wouldn't be the first time they're facing off in the nfl. back on thanksgiving in 2011, john's ravens beat jim's 49ers, 16-6, i'm sure jim would love revenge in the super bowl. >> how fun, the parents. thank you. let's check the forecast and ginger zee. good morning. >> i have a huge headline. dangerous cold settling into the northern plains and great lakes. eventually going to make its way to the northeast. frostbite can happen in less
